Recently, The New York Times ran an article about the teenage hugging phenomenon. So, it makes sense that celebrities (who are often in a state of arrested development), are big huggers as well. And much like a snowflake, no two celebrity hugs are the same. So join me as we delve into the science of the celebrity hug.
The Adrian Brody
Brody gives his Brothers Bloom co-star, Mark Ruffalo, a hug-cum-head-pat at the premiere.
What it Says: I want you to nuzzle in the nook of my neck.
The Defamer Guide to Celebrity to Man-Hugging
Or, The Defamer Male Celebrity’s Guide To Public Man-Hugging Without Seeming Gay And Possibly Jeopardizing Your Career
The George Bush I
Bush attempts to embrace Michelle Obama, but ends up almost touching her butt instead.
What it Says: SMACKDOWN.
The George Bush II
George Bush (or a robot that looks just like him,) hugs an overly excited graduate.
What it Says: Thank God for term limits.

You forgot III – The Chest Bump

-
Oh, the chest bump!! Like Obama’s fist bump but WAY less cool.
-
And just idiotic.
The Rafael Nadal
Tennis champ Nadal gives a one-armed hug to his biggest competitor, Roger Federer, post-match.
What it Says: You played awesome, but not as awesome as me. Hence why Federer is trying to twist his nipple.

-
Oh man, can I get in on this one, pretty please???
-
Haha- a tennis pro sandwich! Sounds good to me.
The Rhianna
A distraught Chris Brown gets a one-sided hug from a glum Rhianna.
What it Says: Nobody likes to hug an abusive rageaholic.
The Katie Holmes
Katie goes in for the double hug— embracing husband Tom Cruise and daughter Suri.
What it Says: I am an Operating Thetan Level III.
The Jennifer Aniston
Jennifer goes in for what promises to be a rather flaccid hug.
What it Says: There’s a lump of ice where my heart should be.
-
Who is the dude, I wonder.
-
I was wondering the same thing— at first I thought he looked like Seth Rogen and then I took it back. J.J. Abrams, maybe?
Hugs Across America
Or across Los Angeles
The Jake Gyllenhaal
Jake: I love you so much I just can’t stop kissing you in public!
Kirsten: Please, God don’t let him find out I’m a lame bitch.
.jpg "Susie")
-
HAHA seriously. Please, God don’t let him find Reese Witherspoon and learn that she is 32023 times better than me!!
-
Hahah! It’s funny because it’s true!!!
-
I admit they are cute together, but it still makes me roll my eyes.
Joan's on Third
8346 W 3rd St., Los Angeles CA 90048
The you-know-what almost hit the fan when Kirsten and Jake almost crossed paths at this upscale deli after they broke up— the tabloids said that Jake got a cup of coffee right before Kirsten came by to do lunch with some pals. It’s too bad they didn’t run into each other here— I LOVE a good awkward hug.
The Paul McCartney
McCartney tries to hug Bono but ends up putting him in a weak chokehold instead.
What it Says: You know I’m still more popular than Jesus, right?
The Lindsay Lohan
Lindsay latches onto Samantha Ronson, who looks like she could probably care less.
What it Says: I’m not really a lesbian I just really crave attention.
Katsu-Ya
11680 Ventura Blvd, Studio City, CA 91604
Looks like Lindsay will have to leave hugs and dinner dates at Katsu-ya Samantha behind.

Ronson (not pictured) picks up Lindsay outside of Katsu-ya. Maybe now that Lindsay is single again she’ll start to be more rational, and maybe she’ll start wearing a bra.

Lindsay grosses me out.
-
I know— thank God she seems to have dropped off the radar for the time being.
-
Oh no and she’s rocking those Gladiator sandals that I detest. Don’t make the trend bigger!
The Richard Simmons
Aerobics impresario Richard Simmons hugs a loyal fan.
What it Says: I want to hold your chubby little face until you lose 20 lbs to the tune of oldies.
Slimmons
9306 Civic Center Dr, Beverly Hills, CA 90210
Bet you thought that you could only sweat to the oldies in the privacy of your own home— think again! Also known as Richard Simmons’ Slimmons, Simmons teaches aerobics at this Beverly Hills studio and let me tell you, I have walked by this place and it is a TRIP.

The David Hasselhoff
The ’Hoff goes in for the kill, overwhelming his prey.
What it Says: I’m probably drunk right now.
The Sarah Palin
John McCain: Why won’t my arms move, dammit!!!
Sarah Palin: He better not be creasing my Neiman Marcus suit.

Sean Combs gives actress Cameron Diaz a victory hug after the Lakers win.
What it Says: I am going to use a sporting event as a an excuse to touch a beautiful woman.
Staples Center
1111 S Figueroa St, Los Angeles, CA 90015
Where the Lakers play (and win!!), and where celebrities hug as a result. It’s a beautiful thing.

Vanessa Minnillo hugs her dog and ignores her boyfriend.
What it Says: Nick Lachey, who?
Barkworks
10800 W Pico Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90064
Mall pet stores are evil places, but they usually have the types of dogs that celebrities love to shower with hugs and kisses— and in case you were wondering what kind of dogs those are, those would be breeds ending in “poo.”

Yeahhh she hugs all her friends like this on the show!

-
She is such a BABY.
Palazzo At Park Labrea the
6220 W 3rd St, Los Angeles, CA 90036
If you’re looking to make like a psuedo celebrity or Lauren Conrad, you can start off by moving into LC’s former digs at the Palazzo, a condo complex in Park Labrea. Yes, everyone The Hills did not actually take place in the hills of Los Angeles when the series began— don’t you feel like you’ve just been punked?

What a fabulous hugging post. Maybe I’ll start to exhibit multiple hugger personality and see if I weird out my friends. I’ll attempt the Richard Simmons hug style first, just to make friends feel super awkward. Then maybe I’ll move onto The Diddy….

My favorite celeb hug is done by Rob Dyrdek, who always does the “slap handshake to a back pat hug without chests touching.”
